Trying to identify your old Gibson banjo?
You've come to the right place! The Gibson Mastertone banjo set a
standard of excellence among four-string players beginning in the jazz
era of the 1920s and has been the definitive banjo for bluegrass music
ever since five-string virtuoso Earl Scruggs came to prominence as a
member of Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys in the 1940s. This website is
your headquarters for serial numbers, dating, information and
identification of vintage Gibson banjos, both Mastertone and
non-Mastertone models.
